DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division has received a request from an area resident to restrict parking on Pilchard Drive. Pilchard Drive is located in the Poinciana area in S-3, T-28S, R-28E, and is classified as a Local Residential road.
Staff conducted parking studies along Pilchard Drive to analyze this request and determined that vehicles are being parked in front of a vacant lot, creating roadway and right-of-way damage issues.
Pursuant to FS 316.008, the Board of County Commissioners is vested with the authority to set parking restrictions on County roadways. Additionally, the posting of the requested restrictions will promote public safety and assist the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in their enforcement efforts.
To comply with statutory requirements, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a Resolution establishing the parking restrictions.
